Why Visit Botswana?

Botswana is one of Africa’s most exclusive safari destinations, known for its pristine wilderness and low-impact tourism model. From the world-famous Okavango Delta — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — to the elephant herds of Chobe National Park and the stark beauty of the Kalahari Desert, Botswana offers unrivaled variety.

Unlike many safari destinations, Botswana focuses on high-quality, low-volume tourism, meaning fewer crowds and more intimate wildlife encounters. Its location makes it easy to combine with Zimbabwe’s Victoria Falls, Namibia’s Caprivi Strip, or South Africa’s Kruger National Park.

Botswana National Parks & Safari Destinations

Botswana is defined by its wild, untouched landscapes:

  • Okavango Delta: Seasonal waterways that attract huge concentrations of wildlife, best explored by mokoro, boat, or fly-in safaris.

  • Chobe National Park: Famous for its massive elephant herds, riverfront safaris, and close proximity to Victoria Falls.

  • Central Kalahari Game Reserve: Remote desert landscapes, known for black-maned lions and stark beauty.

  • Moremi Game Reserve: Part of the Okavango Delta, offering some of the best game viewing in Africa.

  • Makgadikgadi Pans: Expansive salt pans with surreal scenery, migrating zebra herds, and unique desert wildlife.


What Botswana Offers Travelers

  • Exclusive Safaris: Intimate, uncrowded experiences with some of Africa’s best-trained guides.

  • World-Class Wildlife Viewing: From elephants in Chobe to lions in the Kalahari, Botswana offers diversity in abundance.

  • Water & Land Safaris: Few places allow the combination of boat, mokoro, walking, and 4×4 game drives.

  • Seamless Regional Travel: Easily combined with Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe/Zambia) or Namibia’s wilderness.

Best Time to Visit Botswana

  • Dry Season (May – October): The best time for safaris. Water levels in the Okavango Delta peak from June to August, offering prime game viewing by mokoro (canoe), boat, and vehicle. Wildlife gathers around rivers and pans, making sightings spectacular.

  • Wet Season (November – April): Landscapes are green and lush, excellent for birdwatching and photography. Fewer visitors mean better rates at lodges.

👉 Tip: For the Okavango Delta, June to August is peak season, while September to October offers some of the best game viewing across the country.


Airports and Travel Access

  • Maun Airport (MUB): The gateway to the Okavango Delta, with flights from Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Gaborone.

  • Kasane Airport (BBK): Ideal for access to Chobe National Park and just a short transfer to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe/Zambia.

  • Gaborone International Airport (GBE): The capital city hub, linking to South Africa and regional destinations.

Botswana’s airports connect smoothly to neighboring Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls), Namibia (Caprivi Strip), and South Africa, making it easy to create multi-country safari itineraries
